Question

A taxi fare in is as follows: for first kilometer, the fare is rs. 8 and susiquent distance is rs 5 per km. taking the distance x and fare as rs. y,write a linear equation for this information.

Answer 1

taking 8 for first and for test of the kilometres ie x-1 kilometers 5 rupees

Answer 2

⇒ Let the total fare be = y Rs

⇒ Distance covered be = x km

⇒ For first subsequent distance (x - 1) km fare = 5(x - 1)

⇒ y = 8 + 5 (x - 1)

⇒ y = 8 + 5x - 5

⇒ y = 5x + 3

⇒ The coordinates of the following linear equation

1) x = 0, y = 3 (0,3)

2) x = 1, y = 8 (1,8)

3) x = 2, y = 13 (2,13)

4) x = 3, y = 18 (3,18)
